This and Bladerunner is on my watchlist.
Yeah, Blade Runner is also amazing at capturing the aesthetic. I watched the final cut version of it, which is the only one that Ridley Scott got complete creative control over. Haven't watched the other cuts but did check out the monologue voiceovers on youtube that are on some of the other cuts, and I didn't care for them. The happy ending on some of them also seemed silly. There's a whole Wikipedia article about the various versions lol.
Haven't yet watched Blade Runner 2049 yet, but I've heard it's worth watching. Not quite as good as the original, but not much worse.
I liked 2049 more than the original, but it's very close.
